The Paddy Museum

The Paddy Museum is the first
of its kind in Malaysia, and
the fourth to be opened in
the
world after Japan, Germany
and
the Philippines.

The unique architecture of
the
Paddy Museum represents
bushels of harvested rice
stalks. Rice motifs are
repeated throughout the
building, on staircase
banisters, the museum gates
and the fence surrounding it.

The museum showcases the
paddy
cultivation process in
Malaysia and displays all
kinds of tools and equipment
which have been used in the
trade over the years. Through
beautiful murals, the artwork
of 60 artists from North
Korea, the history of paddy
cultivation in Malaysia is
revealed.

Honouring the history,
culture
and significance of paddy
farming in Kedah, the museum
is dedicated to the
hardworking and simple paddy
farmers, whose blood, sweat
and toil have contributed to
the objective of achieving
self-sufficiency in the rice
industry.
